International Museum of Women (IMOW) is accepting submissions for Community Choice Award from artists, filmmakers, photographers, musicians, writers. All the entries will be showcased in the new online exhibition “Your Voices: On Motherhood”. Contributions can come in any medium that is currently supported on IMOW.org and work must address a topic related to motherhood.
Your Voices: On Motherhood is an entirely global community driven showcase that will launch in November 2011. The exhibition will represent the diverse voices, experiences, struggles and successes of women worldwide as they relate to motherhood. We encourage submissions from all global regions.
Through this exhibition, IMOW intends to showcase the experiences, ideas, joys and challenges of a new global generation on this important issue. What are your fears and hopes as you think about whether to become a mother? How is being a ‘good’ mother defined in your country or culture? How is mothering now different to your mother or grandmother’s generation.
Potential topics may include but are not limited to:
- Motherhood and Identity
- Pregnancy and Childbirth – including maternal health
- Work/life Choices
- Motherhood Myths and Realities
- Teenage Motherhood
- Fathers
- Grandmothers
Eligibility and COMMUNITY CHOICE AWARD
All published submissions will be eligible for the Community Choice Award, a US$1,000 prize, with a $500 cash award going to the individual contributor and a $500 donation going to a women’s nonprofit of the winner’s choice. More information about the community choice award guidelines and voting process will be provided at the launch of the Your Voices on Motherhood exhibition in November.
Last date for submission of submissions is October 31, 2011
